Kagome ran to the well, tears falling down her face as Inu-yasha's words continued to repeat in her mind. "Your weak and you're the reason for all of this, just go home!" Kagome put one leg over the lip of the well, "Inu-yasha's right. I'm weak and I'm the reason all of this is happening." Kagome cried to herself as she put her other leg over the well. Just before she jumped Kagome wished that she was stronger and better, not just for Inu-yasha but for herself. Kagome jumped through the well and waited for the familiar pink light to engulf her but instead a strange crimson, black and gold light flared around her before she was dropped onto the well floor again. "That was strange." Kagome thought to herself before she turned to the side of the well so she could climb up the ladder…that wasn't there. A snowflake fell on Kagome's nose drawing her attention to the roof-less sky and the stuffy smog smelling air. Kagome felt a flicker of fear fill her, causing her to tremble, "Where am I?" Kagome whispered to herself afraid to make too much noise, "Get it together Kagome! Your probably just seeing things." Kagome scolded herself before she took a deep breath and called for Inu-yasha. Kagome waited a second before hollering for Inu-yasha again only for a very different face to appear in front of her. It was a figure wearing a black cloak that obscured their features. Kagome licked her dry lips and prayed that this person was nice or at least would kill her quickly, "Excuse me, but can you please help me out of here?" Kagome asked the figure her voice wavering only slightly towards the end. The figure disappeared for a moment before reappearing directly beside Kagome. Kagome jumped startled at the sudden appearance her miko powers flared protectively around her. The figure didn't say anything but instead wrapped an arm around Kagome and jumped out of the well with ease. As soon as Kagome's face cleared the top of the well Kagome gasped in horror and shock at what she saw. The image that greeted her eye's was neither the Feudal Era nor her time in 21st century, instead she seemed to have traveled even farther into the past or into what would be the future.
The sky was a dark grey and the wind was cold the snow that fell gently from the sky was the only beautiful thing about this time. For miles all Kagome could see was a bleak emptiness, with occasional fires burning, there was no buildings but bodies were strewn across the snow covered ground staining the snow crimson with all the blood. The figure shoved Kagome to the ground causing Kagome gave a shriek of surprise as she was suddenly eye-level with a corpse. Kagome turned to see why the figure had shoved her to the ground when her eyes widened with surprise, the figure was fighting what seemed to be thin air before the figure ducked, rolled and came up behind the invisible foe and slashed where the head on a human would be. Kagome felt a scream come to her lips as a grotesque figure rippled into view, the headless body fell to its knees before falling over onto its side. The figure turned back toward Kagome who was freaking out, the sword that it appeared to have pulled from thin air was flicked causing the blood staining it to fly off of it and onto the already crimson snow, before the figure placed the sword into a sheath that was obscured by the black cloak the figure wore. The figure said nothing and Kagome got the impression that the figure was waiting for her to stop screaming so Kagome took a deep breath and closed her mouth, and shoved her hands over her mouth so her screams only came out in muffled whimpers. The figure seemed satisfied with that and held out it's hand to Kagome, Kagome swallowed her eyes darting between the figures hand and the well, she really wanted to go home but there was no guarantee that she would even if she did jump into the well, and this figure seemed okay, they hadn't killed her and they even protected her so…Kagome timidly reached out and hesitantly placed her hand into the figures hand. The figure pulled Kagome up so that Kagome was standing before it wrapped one arm around her and jumped into the air, and just like that Kagome and the figure were flying through the air, but strangely Kagome wasn't getting cold even though she only had her school uniform on.
"I am Crimson, Daughter of Rama and Luna the only surviving female Inu-yuki who rises with both the sun and the moon." The husky but defiantly feminine voice said. Kagome was surprised but her up-bringing prompted her to respond, "I am Higurashi Kagome." Crimson said nothing else as they continued to fly suddenly Kagome felt a tug, like someone was trying to rip her soul from her body, Kagome wanted to say something to Crimson about it when Kagome saw the air in front of her begin to ripple just as it had done before the grotesque figure Crimson had killed appeared. What Kagome saw caused her mouth to drop open in surprise. The dark grey cold and snowing place she had met Crimson seemed to have been an illusion for the world in front of Kagome's eyes reminded her of the Feudal Era. The sun was shining brightly and the world below was green and full of life as people and animals traveled through their villages and along roads, the sun caused the ponds and rivers to sparkle like diamonds. Kagome was even more surprised as she saw different yuki's working, talking and laughing with humans. "What…where..how." Kagome tried to ask her questions but it was all so much to take in that she couldn't get the words out. "You have many questions after you have bathed, changed and eaten I will answer your questions." Crimson said as a large stone castle appeared within sight. Kagome felt Crimson begin to speed up and before long they were right over top of the castle. Crimson took them down to the balcony that was on top of the roof, immediately four male yuki's of different races appeared.
Kagome was surprised as Crimson walked forward and greeted and was greeted by each male yuki with a hug and a kiss on the lips. Kagome snapped her jaw closed as Crimson turned toward Kagome and introduced everyone. "Lava, Zuko, Garra, Hawk, this is Kagome she is a guest, please put her in the room she likes best, also she will need clothes, a bath and food. After all three of her needs are met please bring her to me, where ever I may be." Crimson said before turning to Kagome, "Everyone you meet is a friend please try not to purify any of them, also do not be afraid to ask for things. I will see you afterwards." Crimson said to Kagome before she turned and jumped off of the balcony. Kagome gasped in surprise and ran to the edge of the balcony just in time to see Crimson enter one of the many doors of the castle. Kagome turned to the four male yuki's that were waiting for her, the yuki Crimson had called Lava seemed to be the leader of the four as he spoke to the other three quietly, the other's disappeared through a doorway that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Lava turned towards Kagome who gulped, "Please come this way Kagome, we will start with you picking your room unless you wish to start with something else?" Lava asked. Kagome shook her head, "No picking my room first is okay."
